Depth Charge (Transformers)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod. Non-notable character, no evidence of real-world notability. J Milburn (talk) 10:23, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per other Transformers AfDs; no notability outside of the fictional, in-universe treatment. Tarc (talk) 13:29, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete even worse than most of them, with pure babble like "Many fans consider Depth Charge to be a Triple Changer, despite the term not appearing on his toy box. His box did state that he features "three mode conversion" however." Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:19, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This article cites interviews with the voice actors. Major character. No reason to flush it. Mathewignash (talk) 20:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mege to List of Beast Wars characters. When dealing with non-notable character articles, it is always preferable to look for a list or to create one to merge the article into, or merge/redirect them to the main article instead of outright deletion. Only in cases where the character is completely incidental should it be deleted. Also, how the page is currently organizes shows the folly of trying to cover more than one character from different series that happen to share the same name. This character in particular had a significant role in the third season of Beast Wars along with the antagonist Rampage. —Farix (t | c) 19:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Considering there is a page about the TV show that Depth Charge was on that has a short bio of him, merging would seem to be the minimum, since there are links to this page and they could go somewhere. Mathewignash (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Don't seem to be any reliable sources for this character that can be found, and as such the article fails GNG and notability guidelines. Skinny87 (talk) 09:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails the WP:GNG because there is no evidence that can WP:verify notability. Shooterwalker (talk) 06:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
